The last time some fans were paying attention to this team, it was the middle of last March, and the Bruins were falling to the Bonnies, 65-58, in an NCAA tournament play-in game.
Some people thought Alford would not hold his job. Some people were even willing to put their money behind it. Shortly after that loss, an airplane was rented and a banner was purchased in hopes of persuading athletic director Dan Guerrero to can him. It was the second time in three years that fans made an aerial appeal.
I thought the banner’s expectations were fair, but its hashtag was not.
